We had to take the cats out once the temperature dropped enough, which we don’t usually do after dark. They went straight out to look for possums. And whilst they didn’t get close, they did see one.
I took heaps of photos with my phone, trying to get something useful.
The young female is getting plenty of attention from this boy.
Seems you can never be too old for some milk if mum lets you.
Some early takers for breakfast this morning.
This little joey getting lots of attention from the boys this morning so maybe she is coming of age.
The other mum and her joey were here this morning
Good morning from this boy.
I'm only like half-joking. There's a psionic discipline in the AD&D Players Handbook that goes out of its way to imply #marsupials are harder to control than other mammals, but the game didn't have any marsupials to control.
Byron Bay's 'koala paparazzi' putting stressed marsupials at risk
By Elloise Farrow-Smith
Large crowds of tourists gather daily at the bottom of trees home to koalas in Byron Bay, leaving the animals stressed and their habitat trampled.

Despite its name, the Sulawesi bear cuscus (Ailurops ursinus) isn’t actually a bear. So what is it? 🤔
It’s an arboreal marsupial that lives in tropical forests throughout parts of #Indonesia. It uses its long claws and prehensile tail to aid it in cruising between branches in the canopy. This critter moves slowly and spends a good deal of its time resting and digesting all of the fruits, flowers, and leaves that it eats.
